Thanks for the hint. I had to install /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml
with UID mythtv and GID video with the necessary settings.

I was confused by the username "mythbackend" which was always wrong or
which is now outdated. Also /etc/mythtv/config.xml is confusing on
openSUSE. It is an empty file with a comment, which is no valid XML:

$ cat /etc/mythtv/config.xml
# to be filled in by mythtv-setup

Unfortunately the MythTV packages for openSUSE come from Packman SuSE
and I do not how to contact the package maintainers there.
